As those who know me even moderately are aware, I’m still wedded to my Psion 5 PDA. Yes, it’s old technology, but it does what I need. The main reason I’m still using it, though, is the lack of a decent clamshell keyboard replacement device. Every so often, someone promises something that looks like it might be a replacement I’d use, but mostly they’re vapourware. Today’s Register shows a device at the CES in Las Vegas that looks like what I’ve been waiting for, though. I’m still not entirely sure about the looks of that keyboard, but the fold-out-and-out case design looks like it might be OK. It’s only just a bit bigger than a Psion.
Since I’m in the land of the technophile, I’ll have to go and see what they’ve got down at Shinjuku and Akihabara. I’ve already got a loyalty card with Yodobashi Camera from buying my camera there.
